Although, manager Mikel Arteta will hope that other players come back fit from the international duty. The Gunners have important final games coming for the Premier League title.

ARSENAL HAVE A NUMBER OF INJURY CONCERNS FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON

Arsenal will miss a number of players in the game against Leeds United. Takheiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny will certainly miss the game. Tomiyasu suffered a major injury against Sporting in the Europa League. This major injury will also keep him out for the rest of the season. Whereas, Mohamed Elneny is also hoping to recover from his injury.

However, Arsenal do not expect him to play again this season. Although, his future is not in doubt. The Egyptian midfielder has already signed a new contract till the end of the next season. However, Mikel Arteta will certainly miss both of the players for the rest of the season. The team would have liked both of them to help them in their title race this season.

THE GUNNERS ALSO HAVE INJURY CONCERNS AHEAD OF THE LEEDS UNITED CLASH

According to reports, three players of Arsenal are in doubt for the game against Leeds United. This is the first game for the Gunners after the international break. The first one is club captain Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian was the receiver of a careless tackle of Spanish and Manchester City midfielder Rodri. However, Odegaard thankfully did not show any signs of struggling for the rest of the game.

The other Arsenal player is William Saliba. He also had to get substituted early in the game against Sporting CP. The center-back’s back injury also prompted him to withdraw from the France national squad. Whereas, Eddie Nketiah is also another doubt. Mikel Arteta said after the first leg against Sporting Lisbon that his injury will take him few weeks to recover from the injury.

Hence, Arsenal will hope that all the three players feature in the matchday squad. This is because the Gunners cannot afford to lose in the Premier League title challenge at this point. The Gunners are eight points clear of second placed Manchester City on the top of the Premier League table.
